Can't really get better location, close to 2 vaporetto stops, main bus station and train station. I was expecting very small room with tiny bathroom, however I was very pleasantly surprised at the size. The room was large with plenty of space and the bathroom had full bath with shower over, toilet and bidet. It was on the corner and... more

I thought the name of the hotel was quite strange, but it all made sense when we arrived. We booked this hotel because of its convenient location for a pre-cruise stay. The Canal hotel is located directly on the Grand Canal, but they have annexed a two star property called the Walter, which is located behind the Canal. Unfortunately, our... more

I would highly recommend this charming little hotel. First and foremost, the best quality of the hotel is the fact that it is just across the canal from rail station. If anyone has been to Venice, you can't imagine how confusing the city is for newcomers and not a place you want to be dragging your luggage around lost in... more

Venice is the the absolute perfect example of how the entire Italian hotel star rating system lacks any hint of credibility. I have traveled to Italy for 40 years & truly love the country, & have been to Venice dozens of times which is a crown jewel among cities. Having said that however, I long ago stopped giving any credibility... more
